I saw the same garbage over in freeper land...
There are almost 5000 comments posted in the thread these are from the first few pages. Notice that the racist bastards deliberately misspell their slurs or insert random spaces, so they arent caught by word filters. And many of the worst comments have numerous likes from other commenters.

It's a very sad comment on our society that racism is still so prevalent.

I just stay away from junk like that to stay sane.
"Nice" of the racists to come out before Halloween like this, so many months before the election.
Hopefully, the decent people of America will show up on election day in force, and make these racist slime Fox News viewers realize what a small minority they actually are.

(248 posts)I was stunned by the level of rampant cruelty and racism. I would hope that they are not indicative of the general feeling of FOX viewers and bloggers, but the fact that these comments made it through and were not reported and deleted for being abusive makes me uneasy. Of course, none of those people making those comments will sign their real names to them. What kind of role models must they be to their children?

(3,425 posts)the degree of hatred, the undisguised racism, I just can't believe it.
I thought today's racists communicated using "code words" like "states rights" or "food stamp", etc, but these comments don't disguise anything.
